Stylemaster, our L-290TL, as well as our L-200TL, are Bill's most versatile options with just the right amount of twang and crunch without that biting, edgy top end and fits the widest market of players. We first introduced the L-280TL in 1996 which is very clean and twangy and later added the L-290TL per request. The L-298TL, and the L-290TLE, are most similar to the early broadcaster direction which is a good choice if you're looking for something like that. Take care, Becky
